Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer with explanation:

⇒Correlation coefficient for poor health and not exercising in a group of people = 0.67(r)

⇒ -1 ≤ r ( Correlation coefficient) ≤ 1

⇒If the value of , r < 0.8 or r > -0.8 , are not considered Significant.

⇒So, there is not strong correlation between people who do not exercise and their health.

The Statement we have to analyze is:→

Poor health is caused by not exercising.

Option A: Yes; everyone who doesn't exercise is by definition unhealthy.
